American Express Travel Ends Hotel With Flight Packages After July Of This Year
In a major shift for its devoted cardholders, American Express Travel said it will no longer be providing hotel and flight packages through its platform, AmexTravel.com, starting July 31, 2025. The change means the end of a decades-old offer allowing travellers to book flights and hotel stays in a single transaction, which had been on sale for more than 20 years.
Effective July 31, 2025, American Express will eliminate the option to book combined hotel and flight packages on its travel platform. For the past two decades, this service has allowed customers to combine hotel stays with their flights in one simple, often cost-effective booking process. However, in an attempt to modernise and streamline its platform, Amex is stepping away from this bundled service.
Despite this move, cardholders can still book their hotel and flight arrangements separately via the AmexTravel.com platform. The main takeaway here is that the ease and convenience of booking both travel components together will no longer be available, which may change how some travellers plan their trips.
The exact reasons behind the elimination of hotel and flight packages have not been officially disclosed by American Express. While some speculate that it could be due to low usage of the feature, others believe it may be part of a broader strategy to focus on more customised and flexible travel bookings.
